Being in relationships with Otto Octavius/Doc Ock headcanons.
📖 Otto Octavius
He is the softest man. Honestly, Otto is literally the human equivalent of a marshmallow.
He can be serious and even stern sometimes, especially at work. But one soft look from you and a smile aimed at him, and he's nothing more than a putty in your hands.
He will absolutely shower you with compliments, kisses, touches, and small and meaningful gifts.
He’s a generous man, be it in the field of affection or gifts. He will never hide from showing his love, both in public and in private.
But if you’re not comfortable with PDA, he’ll be understanding. He would hate to make you uncomfortable in any way, so he’s honestly content with just holding your hand. Anything is alright with him.
As much as he loves you and puts you first, he’s a man of science and his work is very important to him, so occasionally he can be late or even not come home for a few days.
But he will always make it up to you.
Lots of extremely romantic dates. He’s a scientist and proud of his mostly practical mind, but boy is he a huge sap!
And if you organize a date, especially if you buy him something and give him flowers, add a flirty comment or two, and he’s a mess.
He’s almost embarrassed about how hard he blushes from such a simple act, especially at his age, but your kiss can help with that.
Speaking of his age, if there’s an age gap between you, he might feel self-conscious sometimes. But he’s not one to dwell on misery and self destruction. If you say you don’t care about any of this and you love him just the way he is, he’s alright with it, too.
He trusts you.
And because of that, he’s not that jealous if he sees someone flirting with you or just paying you attention. He knows you can handle yourself and is sure of your love.
The only reason he would interfere in the scene is if the person made you uncomfortable.
He is protective a bit, but all in a good way.
If someone disrespects you in any way (even if it’s a member of your family), he will be sure to put the person in their place. calmly and without any hesitation, but with such dominance that it leaves no room (and no desire for that person) for arguments.
He is the best at comforting. He’d make hot chocolate or any beverage of your liking that makes you feel warm, put on your favorite TV show/movie/programm, pull over a weighted blanket, and cuddle you until you feel better. All while giving you kisses and rubbing your arms or back.
If you needed comfort in public, he would lock you in his embrace, practically shielding you from the world. He would make you laugh with light teasing, playful flirting, and funny anecdotes.
Otto would support anything you do, say, or even think. He genuinely enjoys listening to you and all of your ideas and thoughts about all kinds of matters.
And watching you create something… It’s just as marvelous as when you watch him do his things.
Even if you think your work didn’t turn out that well, he’ll honestly think this is a masterpiece.
(If you craft something, he will secretly steal one of your works to put it in his office, along with your photo. It never fails to brighten up his mood, especially so when he’s stuck with something or too tired).
He is a passionate man and loves his work very hard (but not more than you, of course). So he sometimes gets so caught up in it that he forgets to take care of himself.You have to remind him to eat and get enough sleep.
All in all, it's a very healthy relationship when both of you respect each other and love endlessly.
You would be a sickeningly sweet couple!
🐙 Doc Ock
He is a bastard.
He'll flirt and sass his way into anything (and trouble as well), and that’s how he wormed his way into your heart. And into your panties…
This man has no rest whatsoever and won’t let you have it either.
He’s just as dedicated to the work as before, if not more so now.
But he will still always find time for you.
Which means breaking into your house in the middle of the night, giving you no rest before work/classes.
You've ended up late more times than you’re willing to admit, but Doc always tells you not to worry about it. If you struggle with money, he’ll get some. Anything so you'd be happy.
(You had to talk him out of it more times than you’d like, honestly.)
So. Much. Confidence. He’s the definition of this word.
He’s so confident he doesn’t get jealous. He doesn't think you would ever look at someone else when you have him (it’s more because of his ego than his trust in you).
But if some poor idiot chooses to flirt with you in his presence?
His protective side turns possessive, and things go south pretty quickly.
He won’t hesitate and definitely won’t regret punching and strangling this person. Just to teach them a lesson.
You’re his, in every way.
But even if he can be possessive and even slightly aggressive sometimes, he has a strict rule with his tentacles: you’re out of harm's way. You’re untouchable.
He would never forgive himself if he hurt you in any way. Feelings count as well.
He’s so in love with you and so grateful that you stuck with him, even when he’s a monster. He’ll literally kill anyone for you. And if you’re against it, he will settle for pampering you in any way he can.
His life as a criminal doesn’t let you two have public dates as you would before, but you can still have cute home dates.
And it almost always leads to some steamy activity ;)
He’s even less concerned with taking care of himself now, forgetting all about the rest, food, and even showering sometimes.
He would hate it if you babyed him, so you have to find a way for him to accept your care.
Once everything is settled, Otto will officially "introduce" you to his children. At first, you were hesitant to accept them into your life, but with time, you kind of started to like them. (Especially the way they spiced up your personal life.)
He absolutely will manhandle you from time to time, even "kidnapping" you from your work/classes only to drag you on a date.
You’d complain a little and roll your eyes, but his knowing and cocky smirk makes you melt every time without fail.
Spider-man would try to "save" you a couple of times, but when he learns that you’re not a victim of kidnapping, but very much a supervillain's significant other, he’s confused. But he just let you two be.
(Not without a promise from you that if anything happens, you will call for him. It offends Ock, and you have to get him away from the bug-man before he starts to throw fists again)
You know that he would never hurt you. They will never hurt you.
Since the accident, his temper has shortened and he can get angry pretty quickly. If he snaps at you for some reason, he will apologize for his outburst after he cools down and reasons with his children.
(And always make it up to you)
His back and head are in constant pain, as are his eyes. So since he can’t really go shopping, you’re the one who buys the medications (and makes him take them when the pain is unbearable).
He would probably learn how to sew at some point, just to create more clothes that would feel comfortable with his extra limbs.
The actuators are kind of your children now too. They let you pet them and even talk to you, mostly through Doc (but you found a way to understand their chirping and clicking).
They are really great helpers. You even learn their names and try to call them by them so they feel included in your life.
It’s not an ordinary family, and Doc is far from an ordinary man, but it’s the best one you could have asked for.
